معرفی
Dr. Steve Hansen is a Professor in the Department of Physical and Health Education at Nipissing University, serving as Graduate Program Coordinator and Chair within the Schulich School of Education. He holds a BKin (Honours), MSc, and PhD from McMaster University. His research focuses on visual control of upper limb movements, kinematic analyses of movement in both typically developing and special populations, and theoretical modeling of movement control and rehabilitation. Key themes include optimizing speed-accuracy trade-offs, sensory-motor integration, and movement variability quantification.
Research interests span human movement behavior, sensory-motor systems, and movement control in clinical populations. His work examines how visual feedback and task constraints influence movement planning and execution, with applications to neurorehabilitation and motor learning. Recent trends in his publications emphasize hormonal effects on motor performance, robotics in pediatric therapy, and peer feedback dynamics in skill acquisition.
No scientific awards are explicitly listed, but his extensive publication record reflects impactful contributions to motor control theory. As an academic leader, he oversees graduate training and curricular development in physical education. While no lab affiliations are noted, his research collaborations involve interdisciplinary teams studying biomechanics, neuroscience, and clinical applications.
